THE TRUTH THAT HEALS

EARL ALBERT RUSSELL

Christ Jesus, our great Master, told those Jews who believed in his teachings (John 8: 31, 32), "If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." He also revealed how this should be done. He demonstrated not only that the knowledge of man's selfhood as a child of God enabled him to be free himself, but that such knowledge and understanding of spiritual facts permitted him to free others.

Our Master always healed with Truth, the Word of God, the Christ. He never resorted to material medicines or methods, and made no concessions to persons or opinions. Instead, he knew the truth about God and man. This truth when understood healed the multitudes in that day and is healing multitudes today.

The truth about anything good, anything real, is what it is in divine Mind—what God knows of it. The truth about man, which is the truth about you and me, is that man is as perfect as effect as is his creator, divine Principle, God, as cause, because God created him in the likeness of Himself. Likewise, the truth about pain, disease, unemployment, lack, unhappiness, sin, sorrow—all discord—is that God, good, never made them. Hence they are untrue, unreal, powerless; waking dream shadows, which are wholly apart from actuality.
